Ferry Across the Huangpu River, Shanghai

The Huangpu River cuts across Shanghai city, dividing it neatly into two. The western sector or Puxi is home to the old walled city and most of the historical tourist attractions. The eastern sector Pudong is a recent development of the last few decades and is the new business district boasting many awesome glass and steel towers.

On a typical day, thousands of commuters and tourists cross the river by bridge, tunnel or the humble ferry. There are several crossing points and this is located along a riverside garden on the Pudong side.
